Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, may be fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund's investments are valued daily by an independent pricing service, dealer quotations, or are valued at the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted bid price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold. The Fund's net asset value is determined daily at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange.
